It was also cool to see 3 US women in the top 7, 4 in the top 15 of the DH.
The results show the time plus distances from first.Best regards, Terry

I agree that is part of it. But there are also empty spots at skiing events with the top racers in the world competing. South Koreans are watching short track because they are into it and competitive in the discipline. But otherwise.... not a nation really into most winter sports from what I can see. Fuck the IOC and it's politics and focus on money. The winter olympics should be located in places that culturally love winter and winter sports. How about Norway for 2022? No. Let's have it in fucking Bejing.

distance in inches, centimeters, feet or meters?
I assume it's meters.

Diggins and Vonn representing their midwest roots on the podium! Very proud.

The problem is no respectable country wants to deal with the assholes at the IOC. I believe Oslo was in the running for 2022 until somebody leaked the IOC demands to the public. The backlash killed it and Oslo pulled out. I think the only 2 countries that wanted the games ended up being China and Kazakhstan.

That was awesome. Diggins knew just what to do at the finish, playing to her strength.

Looks like meters. Click on the '+' sign to see splits and speed in km/h. The finish speed (kmx1000) multiplied by time difference doesn't quite compute to the distance, but close.
There were a few skating and nordic photo finishes where a couple thousandths of sec equaled an inch or two.
Here's an interesting article on Olympic timing.Best regards, Terry

In the semis, the announcer said there is no one faster in the sprints than Diggins and especially the 'tweener distance' of 3.5k, because she was basically built for that distance.
For them it is all about team vs individual, too. Their genuine attitude and joy makes it all the better.Best regards, Terry

On the other hand, you catch the Bruins game last night? 3rd period was epic, each goal was like they were hitting the Oilers in the head with big hammer. Playoff atmosphere, crisp play, high effort level....the NHL is in charge of the game on their rinks, not somebody else's on the other side of the world.
I can see it both ways but taking 2 weeks off in the middle of the playoff chase, risking injuries, for no money return? Not an awesome business proposition when you get right down to it.

Seriously.
What’s not to like? Great people, competing hard, fun to watch, no judges.
It’s like “First one to cross the line buys the beers.”
